Answer:

25.4%

Explanation:

Portfolio standard deviation =  Proportion in the risky asset X Standard deviation of risky asset

                                               28 = 37x

Solving for x derives:-

                                         28/37  = x

Expected return of the portfolio =  14%( 1- (28/37)) + 29%(28/37)

                                                     = 25.4%

Therefore, the expected return on the portfolio is 25.4%.

Suppose 2 athletes sign 10-year contracts for $80 million. In one case, we're told that the $80 million will be paid in 10 equal
maxonik [38]

Answer:

player 2 is signing a better contract

Explanation:

the present value of an annuity (player 1) = annual payment x annuity factor

assuming that the interest rate is 10%

present value = $10 million x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $61.446 million

player 2's contract

the present value of a growing annuity = [payment / (i - g)] x {1 - [(1 + g) / (1 + i)]ⁿ} = [$10 / (10% - 5%)] x {1 - [(1 + 5%) / (1 + 10%)]¹⁰} = $200 x 0.372 = $74.398 million

If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or wo
maw [93]

Explanation:

  • Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs Foundation
  • Psychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.
  • Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.

Radda [10]

Answer:

(B) Hire the firefighter if the cost of the new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Explanation:

The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Since $5 x 15000 residents = $75, 000.

Therefore it is still beneficial to hire a new firefighter if the cost is less than $75, 000

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621
